Gupta emphasized that these initiatives would reduce flooding during the monsoon and strengthen the local infrastructure.
The Chief Minister also launched the remodeling of the stormwater drain on Haiderpur Main Road, from the bus stand to the D block in Shalimar Bagh. This project is part of the New Master Drain Plan 2025, which aims to enhance the area’s drainage system by constructing RCC drains.

She noted that drainage improvement works have also commenced on Road Number 319, RUB Shalimar Bagh, Chaudhary Mehr Chand Marg, Road Number 320, and Swami Shraddhanand Saraswati Marg.
To streamline traffic at Shalimar Chowk, the Chief Minister initiated the construction of a slip road and the development of U-turns around the RUB. This initiative is expected to alleviate traffic pressure in the area, providing better and safer transit for local residents and travelers.
Additionally, Gupta inaugurated the Ayushman Arogya Mandir at the Chaupal in Sahepur village. This center will play a crucial role in providing primary health services to local residents, enhancing access to better healthcare facilities.
She also launched the remodeling of existing stormwater drains on Bhagwan Mahavir Marg and KL Bagga Marg. Under this project, precast factory-manufactured RCC drains will be constructed, aligning with the New Master Drain Plan 2025.
